I’m going to suggest just like you did that the vast majority of people would expect that after 30 days that the data is gone for good.
Balderdash. I’m going to suggest just like you did that the vast majority of people would expect that after 30 days that the data is gone for good.
Does everyone interested in privacy now realize they just need to buy a bigass hard drive and skip all this cloud crap?
How does that big hard drive help in a fire, technical failure or theft etc.? No backup plan is foolproof.Does everyone interested in privacy now realize they just need to buy a bigass hard drive and skip all this cloud crap?

The problem is whatever system is supposed to then purge after 30 days wasn't working properly, and apparently that hasn't been a priority for Apple.
No... it is actually really important to mark things as deleted, because if you don't, then when you have a legitimate reason to recover something, you don't have the ability to do so.

I think it just means they found a way of accessing their own data that Apple's stated policy implied would not be there after 30 days.This means they broke into iCloud.
I hope your right.I think it just means they found a way of accessing their own data that Apple's stated policy implied would not be there after 30 days.
I would prefer for Apple to say what they mean and mean what they say. Sometimes these little surprises work in a customer's favor. Knowing how people accidentally delete things quite often, it's likely that it's usually in the customer's favor...IF the customer knows the data is still there. Otherwise it doesn't benefit the customer at all and just leaves them with a sense that things they wanted to be deleted are gone, when in fact they are not.
It's getting to be a bit of a "thing" with Apple to promote one ideal and actually do something else to undermine it. I'm a bit weary of it myself. I like to hold Apple to a high standard because in the past they've mostly exceeded my expectations. I hope they come around to being that way again.
I hope not. We need to find out more.Does it?
So that means we can't just simply say "This means they broke into iCloud."I hope your right.

As in kind of like Russia being one of the harder hit countries by the latest malware/ransomware?1. Everyone should no that the data is never gone unless it's written over. Even then...
2. When are we gonna take back coding prowess from the Russians? This is getting embarrassing.
That's all well and good but the point is Apple and (particularly) others aren't necessarily or always up front and transparent about the realities of data storage and what they do and don't store.

I agree as they never invented it.1. Everyone should no that the data is never gone unless it's written over. Even then...

Fine. One thing I can promise you though is that Apple purport to make things clear for idiots and non tech savvy people. I wouldn't mind betting that they do not think like you have suggested.I suppose we must agree to disagree.
I think that if you have a document that can somehow become a security problem on day 31 (or week 31), then it should not have been in the cloud in the first place.
A.
Hacked into?The data was hacked into or visible and as they have stated never deleted.
